Yakuza Like A Dragon picks up an insane voice cast and a new platform
Sega have announced the Yakuza Like a Dragon English voice cast and that fact that is now coming to PlayStation 5, in addition to the previously announced Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC release.
In addition to the news the game is coming to another platform, is the news that those who buy it on PlayStation 4, will also get an upgrade to the PlayStation 5, though the specifics have not yet been confirmed. I suspect that much like the Xbox Series X update, something similar will happen for the PlayStation family of devices.
Also revealed in today's announcement is the English voice cast of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which features, among many talented actors, esteemed TV and film actor George Takei. As a veteran actor of TV and movies, George Takei has lent his talent and gravitas to such characters as Hikaru Sulu (Star Trek), Yamato-san, (The Terror) Kaito Nakamura (Heroes) and other iconic roles. Mr. Takei is taking on the role of Masumi Arakawa, a powerful patriarch whose dissolution of the Tojo Clan's yakuza empire sets into motion the conflict at the heart of protagonist Ichiban Kasuga's story. Ichiban joins forces with a colorful crew from different walks of life to uncover the truth behind his former patriarch's capitulation to a rival yakuza organization, the Omi Alliance of Kansai.
The main cast also includes the following talent:
Kaiji Tang as Ichiban Kasuga, protagonist of the story returning from 18 years spent in prison
Andrew Morgado as Koichi Adachi, an ex-cop on the search for truth
Greg Chun as Yu Nanba, downtrodden former nurse making amends with the world
Elizabeth Maxwell as Saeko Mukoda, a bar hostess on a mission
